Lecture: "LIFE AS A FATAL DIAGNOSIS" The topic of the lecture is related to the famous film by Krzysztof Zanussi, but in addition, it is a reference to one of the most significant pairs: death and life, and any mythological thinking is based on such opposites. Why is the modern world so afraid of death and prefers to remain silent about it? How has the attitude to the life-death pair changed in different historical eras? Are there things more important than life? What is a philosophical attitude to life, and why, after Plato and Boethius, philosophy began to be perceived as the science of dying? This and much more will be discussed in this lecture. #ZharinovOKulture #OpenLectures
